Make up towel

This wee towel was great. I was a bit skeptical at first, but really removes all you make up. I don't have heavy make up, probably just average but it took it all off. Even eyeliner and mascara! Make sure you wash it before you use it.

Tips: It says to was it once a week but I wash it probably every four days. I'm going to get another one so I can keep using one while the other is in the wash

Super super super soft

Honestly? I totally did not think that this product was going to have high expectations. However I was totally surprised and I'm in love.

I got this in the colour white which I thought a bit strange because makeup and a white towel? But this is actually good because you can really see just how much makeup you are taking off.

I use this in the shower and it removes pretty much nearly all of your makeup. It does struggle with eyeliner though and you need to be really carefully when wiping it off because it took off a couple of bottom lashes oopsies. I probably was a bit rough.

I just used water and it was fantastic. I also did a test where I washed my face with cleanser really well and then used the makeup remover to see if I had got it all off. Nope, there was still heaps of makeup that the remover had taken off, I was quite surprised.

It is sooooo soft and feels amazing and super easy to clean, just pop in with your towels and bam clean again and ready for its next adventure.

Highly recommend this remover for sure.

Manicare Makeup Remover Towel

With all the talk of how make up wipes are not so eco friendly these days I thought I would give something like this a try. I really do try to do my bit to help our planet. the wipes also block up our waste water systems if they are flushed which is not a good thing.

This towel is super soft on your skin, such a lovely feeling. You only need to wet it with warm water and it will take away most of your daily make up. I do us some eye make up remover on a cotton pad to remover stubborn eye make up.

Using this towel means I am spending less money on actual make up removing products which again is better for our world.

I guess the only thing I am not super happy about is that mine is [was] a white towel which is so hard to keep looking clean and nice, but that is a small sacrifice to make for a great product.

ManicareRemoves Makeup But Need 2 Scrub Stains Out

This is my first makeup removing towel. But I did want to get it since I got into using wipes and I figured I could save money and also my sensitive skin as some wipes are really irritating for my eyes and face. I got it in the bright pink eye catching shade. This towel is really soft and when it's wet gets off all your makeup - more waterproof eyeliner and mascara, concealer, lipstick, although I haven't tried it with the longwearing lip stains or those transfer proof liquid lipsticks. But usually by the time I take off my makeup in the evening my lipstick has come off and so it's not really much to remove. Everything comes off without a lot of rubbing which is great for my sensitive skin. I still use an oil cleanser afterwards but I think this removes pretty much everything. I would say it's probably more effective than wipes it terms of cleaning and just because it's larger and got more surface area than a wipe. I also like that for my sensitive skin I can use just water to get a thorough clean. Now for the main con and why I don't use this every night. I can't just pop it in the wash and expect it to come out stain free. It'll come out cleaner, it'll definitely have less makeup on it but it'll still have brown beige stains from my foundation and concealer and I can still see the outlines of my eyeliner and mascara on it plus my brown pencil and products and eyeshadow. I could use it in that state and it'll wipe off whatever makeup I have on clean but I don't really like trying to get my face cleaner with something that looks dirty. You also won't find makeup stains or pink lint on any of the other items you have washing in the machine with the makeup removing towel. If I want it looking as good as new I have to handwash out the stains with laundry detergent. That being said I've used it, left it out to dry and scrubbed out the stains by hand a few days later and popped it in with a load of washing and it came out looking good as new. I think this a nice and handy makeup removing item to have but you need to have the time to scrub the stains out by hand if you want it looking as good as new. And I just don't see myself hand washing seven of these in order to not use wipes anymore. But I possibly might buy a couple more in the future.

Tips: These are fantastic for spot cleaning your makeup brushes particularly if you have Wayne Goss or blue squirrel hair brushes which aren't meant to be washed every week. This cloth gets all the makeup out and the brush dries quickly. If you have sensitive skin you don't need a strong detergent to scrub the stains out I found a milder laundry detergent did the trick.

So simple and effective

I was very grateful to be able to trial this thank you BR.

It's an oval shaped pink towel. Super soft and fluffy as well. it is recommended that you machine wash it before using which I did.

I have now used this towel for five nights in a row, obviously I like it....alot! It's unbelievably easy to use, simply wet it and wipe your face with one side of the towel. Once your makeup is removed and this will happen very quickly, flip the towel over and wipe your face again. Done! I had no skin irritation afterwards and I personally only had to wipe gently as well.

I hand washed it afterwards which was also simple and hung it on the towel rail to dry for the next evening. Now that it's Friday, it's been put in the washing machine again.

Not only did it remove ALL of my makeup within seconds, it also left my skin feeling and looking clean. I honestly can't believe how quickly it removed 99% of my waterproof mascara, that was the selling point right there for me personally. No more panda eyes or scrubbing for me.

The towel was also fragrance free which I preferred and I would highly recommend it.

Tips: Use your favorite cleanser afterwards to complete.

Handy makeup remover

I received his cute pink soft towel to remove all stubborn makeup.

First of all you had to machine wash it before use to make it more softer but not too sure why. Guess it is like how you should wash new towels first before use so they work better.

Instructions say that to wet one side of the towel and use circular movements to remove stubborn makeup and then use the other side of the towel to get the residual makeup off. It was good to get rid of the normal makeup but did not remove any of my waterproof mascara. I had to use makeup remover solution to do that unfortunately. However when I wore my normal mascara the next day the towel did. Good job.

Was handy to use but didn't remove stubborn makeup.

Tips: Like that it is reusable. Definitely nice and soft on the skin.

A good eco friendly option

I love this make up removed towels after changing soley to these 3 months ago.

They are about as effective as a make up removing wipe (i find i still always end up with mascara left behind) but they are nowhere near as harsh.

Because I have sensitive skin I find sometime remover wipes make my under eyes sting.

I do not use this wipe just on its on, i find the texture a bit weird without using a cleanser or remover with it, so I always team it up with one.

My only complaint is it shows up everything you take off, so while the pink is cute it would be better if it came in black.

Easy to wash - I usually use some sort of brush cleaner in between days then throw it in the washing machine

A bathroom must have

I looove this product and don't know how I got by without it before! I love to leave mine hanging in the bathroom/shower and use it to remove my makeup usually before I jump in the shower, it makes removing makeup SO easy - just be gentle removing eye makeup! I make sure to leave quite a bit of water on mine and not ring it out completely. I follow up with a cleanser in the shower/my usual routine. No more makeup remover wipes for me!

Not overly impressed

So I bought this for my best friend and I, she found it worked great for her but I had the opposite experience. The idea and concept is great, but the effectiveness of it is pretty average. It doesn’t completely get makeup off the way it says and rather just moves it around. I found I had to carry on with my normal routine despite using this.

Tips: Wash it first before using it the first time

Not the ideal solution

I was so excited to get another trial from BR! Especially for something that looked like a facecloth but cost close to $20.

The packaging is simple, but does the job of showing you the product, as well as portraying the hefty claims of being able to remove stubborn makeup with just water. To be honest each time I read it I thought that it belonged in an informercial.

The cloth itself is bright pink - perfect for me to find in the shower once I can't see when my glasses are off :P

The cloth itself is very soft, so I can see why it would be great for sensitive skin. I have used this a few times and really I don't know if I'm seeing what the fuss is about. Yes it removes makeup, but is it any better than any other facecloth. I think not. In particular I found it crap at removing eyeliner and mascara... but really I don't know if I expected it to be that good. My main gripe with this product is the fact that really to not breed bacteria you would need to wash this every single day. Personally I am NOT doing washing everyday, and when I can pick up a four pack of faceclothes from KMart for $5 why would I bother spending $20 on one.

One place where I see this towel having great value is the gym. Perfect for your gym bag so that you can take your makeup off before working out, but you don't need to bring extra products to remove your makeup.

The other thing that I liked about this is that it could be the perfect way to remove your makeup before actually cleansing. That way your cleanser that you are spending your hard earned money on actually cleanses your skin rather than just removing makeup.

The inner greeny in me also loves this. No more using makeup removing wipes and chucking them in the bin. This way you have a reusable cloth that isn't just something that you are chucking in the bin everyday. Very cool.

Not a winner for me. But I'm sure people will be able to find a time and a place for it.
